Abstract
Information security continues to grow in importance in all aspects of society, and therefore evolves as a prevalent research area. The Information Systems (IS) discipline offers a unique perspective from which to move this stream of literature forward. Using a semi-automated thematic analysis approach based on the topic modeling technique, we review a broad range of information security literature to investigate how we might theorize about information security on a grander scale. Five themes resulted from our analysis: Software Security Decisions, Firm Security Strategy, Susceptibility, Information Security Policy Compliance, and Other Developing Themes. Implications of our findings and future research directions are discussed.

Themes in Information Security Research in the Information Systems Discipline: A Topic Modeling Approach
Information security continues to grow in importance in all aspects of society, and therefore evolves as a prevalent research area. The Information Systems (IS) discipline offers a unique perspective from which to move this stream of literature forward. Using a semi-automated thematic analysis approach based on the topic modeling technique, we review a broad range of information security literature to investigate how we might theorize about information security on a grander scale.
